The scene is pretty fun out here! The public lakes are few in between and a little rough but if you're a nice guy you'll meet some peeps on a private lake and you'll be set. We've had some pro events here the past couple of years and there are also some cool local shops with good people. You'll dig it. Here are a couple of shots of the cable park and one of the boys throwing down on one of our private lakes.

It's decent! We just had the Mile High Meet and Drink at Horsetooth Reservoir yesterday. I think we had 10 or 12 boats which may not sound that good but most people already have their boats winterized so we will take it! In the spring there is the Mile High Meet and Greet too: http://www.milehighmeetandgreet.com/ The public lakes are pretty busy on the weekends so I joined a private lake that is out east for $1,250 a year but there are others right in Ft. Collins too.

Still getting out on the h2o! The private lake we had been on all Summer was closed at the end of Sept. so just going to some of the public lakes. Keeping the boat inside in a heated garage has helped extend our season. Mid 70's to low 80's this week & weekend. Going to keep it up as long as we can.

Looking for a 4th or 5th to ride on Saturday Oct. 22nd. Not sure what lake we are heading to yet but we are going to be out! Had a blast last Saturday with Blake, Martha, Suzie & Kinzie. Next time we are in Idaho, you owe us a pull on Coeur d'Alene!
Prob will be riding up in N. CO someplace.

Laurel and Matt- Colorado has a descent wake scene and it's growing every year. As Timmy suggested, hit up the MileHigh Meet & Greet in the spring to meet other riders and crews. The Meet & Greet is all about finding thirds and those without boats to find a crew to ride with. It's a 3 day event with sponsors and giveaways. This was our first year to have two events due to the support and attendance of the spring event. Go to www.milehighmeetandgreet.com and sign up for the email list. That way you will be kept up to speed on next years event(s). There is also a link to the Facebook page, Like us if you would please.

The mile high meet and greet is freaking awesome. The charge harder crew is always looking for more people to ride with. Wake and snow. Www.chargeharder.com. Hit me up anytime we currently have an Axis A22 But we might be upgrading for 2012.

are you in town now? want to make a last ride? I'll go 11/30 if i can get ppl. the water isn't too bad at 45 degrees (: would go for the afternoon, otherwise ill put the boat up til spring, unless we get some nice warm weather and then go to a lake that is open still.

The Colorado/Denver scene is AWESOME, but you have to know the right people, as they are far and few between. Most decent lakes require a pass, so knowing people with a pass on Sloan's, Aloha, Standley, Hidden, etc. is great. The public lakes - Cherry Creek, Horsetooth, Chatfield - are usually pretty beat up, unless you have a morning weekday crew. Definitely check out the Mile High Meet & Greet. All Colorado wakeboarders in the same place at the same time, incredibly fun and great way to meet fellow riders.

Just got a call from the owner of the private lake we ride. Docks are going in today and the lake will be open to members 2mro. Launching the boat 2mro afternoon for the 1st time of the season.
Turns on the snow in the morning, turns on the H2o in the afternoon. Game on.

Went riding at Boyd lake yesterday. water temp was 50 degrees not to bad for March. I was surprised how many people have there boats out already. about 6 other boarders out, but there was a lot of boats just cruising around. felt good to be boarding already.

Fixing to make the move to Golden/Denver myself. Just went up there for an interview and spent some time checking out the local shops and such. Tommy's has a legit shop and I hear there are a few others too. Cable park up there looks great. Coming from Texas I was a bit worried about being able to keep up with riding but it looks like it won't take much effort..

If anyone is looking for someone else to add to their crew let me know... I am ready to start riding again and can offer gas money/ boat help / lessons to anyone interested. I am particularly interested in boats with a decent amount of weight (got used to that at home). Text/call me at 317-809-9415 I am available weeknights after 4:30 and weekends when I plan accordingly. Thanks - Matt

Anyone riding yet? It has been really windy lately.... I am getting pretty close to being released for physical activity following my snowboarding injury this winter. I have been inactive for way too long and am dying to get on the water!

The season is definitely upon us! I always love an early spring. For those new to Colorado looking for crews to ride with, the MileHigh Meet & Greet is just over 6 weeks away! We have 15 sponsors this year including Wakeworld! The Meet & Greet is Colorado's Largest Wakeboard Party and a great way to meet some great boarders and crews in the Colorado wake scene. This is a 3 day event kicking off with the Pre-Party on Friday night June 1st. Below is the link announcing the Pre-Party.http://p0.vresp.com/i7AUaL

Thanks for the responses guys, I am really excited to start riding again and get to know some people out here in the wakeboarding community. My girlfriend and I will definitely be present at the event!

2 years ago some kid from CSU was at Horsetooth doing some research for a science project he was working on and stumbled upon the event and came out with us on my buddies Epic and threw down! No jacket, no trunks, no board, nothin! I think a lot of us were impressed that someone just happened to be there and could ride as good as he could without any of his own equipment.

Friday was about as good as it gets. Hot,Sunny and no wind. Butta' day on the lake. Saturday morning - early afternoon was good but got blown out later in the day. Sunday (Today), Heading out for some chill time before the bad weather hits.

We have the same at the lake we are on. If we take the boat to another lake we are quarantined for at least 10 days. Private lakes have + & - to them. Pretty much keep the boat where we are except for vacations.

Dillon rez (in Summit County)? It's a non human contact rez. It's one of the main H20 sheds for Denver. Plus, that thing is damn cold even mid summer. We go up and cruz the rez from time to time. We are mainly at the private lake that we belong to but do get other places now & then. Green Mtn Rez just outside of Silverthorn is pretty cool to camp at and ride. Again, the water is cold. It's all runoff from the snow. We do a trip to Glendo,WY mid Summer, Sometimes head to Boyd Lake. My In-Laws just leased a house in Havasu for next Jan-the end of April and are taking there boat with them, we may drag ours out there when we go visit. Depending on the weather.
We are from Michigan so ya, same issue as most of Indiana. Some lakes have the Zebra Muscle issue. I can honestly say that I miss the lakes in Michigan and the sandy beaches & bottoms of the lake. Rocks & mud out here! But Colorado is home. Thanks for the comment on the pics. Won't be in the water for a while, I broke my ankle a few weeks ago. 6 weeks with a cast on then p.t. At least I can drive and be out in the sun!

I am looking for someone to ride with this summer in the Denver area. I don't mind driving up to Ft. C or Greeley on the weekends even. I still don't have my own boat but I know all about helping with gas and cleaning. I plan on going to the MileHigh Meet & Greet at least one day.

Just an F.Y.I for anyone heading up to N.Colorado to boat. The wildfire burning in the foothills of Ft.Collins is causing some issues. Yesterday at the lake ash was falling from the sky most of the late afternoon and evening. Sometimes to the point, it looked like it was snowing lightly. The air is smoke filled at times (depending on the wind direction). The closer to the Ft.Collins area you get, the worse it seems to be.

Glad to see most of you are going to make the Meet & Greet this year. This is going to be the largest M&G yet! Below is the schedule of events:

Party Cove Tie-Up
Afterwards we'll all head up to the Party Cove. I have hired an aerial photography company to photograph the Party Cove Tie-Up. Bring your boat and be a part of Colorado's Largest Party Cove Tie-Up!

Went by Green Mtn Rez over the weekend and things are not looking good. It looks more like a river. Low Spring runoff and hot weather may take it's toll on most of the lakes here in Colorado. Get your boating in now, no telling how long the h2o will be around.

Went out to Boyd for the day with a few friends and couldn't believe the influx of people. I'm guessing that since Horsetooth is closed because of the fire, everyone is filling up the remaining N.Colorado lakes. Really makes me appreciate the benefits of being on a private lake.
